Guo Moruo郭沫若天空一片灰暗，没有丝毫的日光。

The sky was a sheet of murky grey, completely devoid of sunlight.海水的蓝色浓得惊人(2)，舌氏岸的微波吐出群鱼喋嗡的声韵。

The sea was a ghastly dark blue. The gentle waves licking at the shore gave forth ahumming sound like that of fish in shoals.这是暴风雨欲来时的先兆(3)。海中的岛屿和乌木的雕刻一样静凝着了。我携着中食的饭匣向沙岸上走来，在一只泊系着的渔舟里面坐着。

All that foreboded a storm Some isles in the sea stood quiet and still like ebony sculptures I walked towards the sandy beach carrying my lunch-box and then sat inside a fishing boat moored at the seashore.一种淡白而无味的凄凉的情趣一一我把饭匣打开，又闭上了(4).回头望见松原里的一座孤寂的火葬场(5)。红砖砌成的高耸的烟囱口上，冒出了一笔灰白色的飘忽的轻烟……

What an insipid and dreary scene! I opened the lunch-box only to have it covered up again. Looking back, I caught sight of a lonely crematorium looming out of a pine wood. Its towering red-brick chimney was giving off wisps of grayish smoke.翻译解析：(1)“水墨画”除译An Inkwash Painting外，也可译为An Ink-and-Wash Painting o(2)“海水的蓝色浓得惊人”译为The sea was a ghastly dark blue，其中ghastly的意思是“可怕的”，但兼有“不正常”的含义。(3)“这是暴风雨欲来时的先兆”译为All that foreboded a storm o“先兆”也可译为 foretold但不如foreboded确切，因后者一般都针对不好的事物。(4)“又闭上了”译为only to have it covered up again，其中only(用在不定式前)往往作“结果却”或“却又”解。(5)“望见松原里的一座孤寂的火葬场”译为caught sight of a lonely crematorium looming out of a pine wood，其中用looming代替standing等能(6)‘冒出了……轻烟”译为giving off... smoke to emit等。较好地表达“赫然耸现”的含义。其中to give off是成语，意同to send out
